Match Ratings Summary Table

[tarquinbeech]

Having been given a bit of a roasting yesterday for my Match Ratings, I thought I'd waste an hour composing a Summary table of those that expressed an opinion on the thread yesterday:

In order of those that posted, Tarkers, ComeOnYouStylish, Optipez, BFP and Slack

Collin 7.5 6.5 7 7 7

Toots 8 7.5 7.5 8 8

Duffy 7.5 6.5 7 6 7

Brisley 7.5 7 7 6 7

Jones 8 6.5 7 5 7

Grant 8 7 7 8 8

Yates 8 7 7 7 8.5

Milsom 7.5 7 7.5 7 7

Hawk 8 7.5 7 9 7

Stead 7 7.5 8 8 8

Forte 8 6.5 7 8 7

Dicko 7.5 6.5 6.5

Hewitt 7.5 6.5 6.5

Conclusion -

Defence - I appear to have rated our back 5 TOO highly (apart from Toots)......I admit they had a dodgy first 20 minutes but after the sending-off were they ever tested again?

Midfield - We broadly agree. The only major difference is that both BFP and myself gave Hawk, MOM, and higher marks

Attack - This appears to be the main argument. I dislike Stead's "Stick-insect on ice" routine and "oh ref, he pushed me again", yet I still gave him a 7 (the max was three 8s).....plus I also rate Forte's work-rate and application running the channels and gave him an 8 compared to an average 7.25

Edit - There were spaces between the scores, for easier viewing, when I typed this.......the site has compressed it....grrrr

That’s why I do the ……. in the betting table. The forum doesn’t like spaces.

At the end of the day Tarkers, the match ratings are a personal opinion. I bet if you waited till everyone had posted their ratings, took an average and then posted these as you ratings, you'd still get people having a go.

Most scorers are within a point of each other most of the time. It takes a lot to get a nine and you have to be poor to get a five.
You were unreasonably rounded on a couple of weeks ago, I disagreed with you, but some took pleasure from a bit of low level online bullying. This is a shame, if posters get hounded out, the board dies and it's far easier to slag someone off than nail your colours to the mast and put your scores up, and leave yourself open to a bit of ridicule.The

I put the scores up for the benefit of those like you who can't make it as I always like to read others scores from matches I can get to. Not just the scores but a little critique of each player.

Spot on, these threads are based entirely on opinion so there is no real right and wrong. They give those who couldn't attend a bit of an insight, so the more contributions the bigger the picture.

It is strange that you mention "hounded out".....I know of at least 4 people that don't bother posting on here anymore.......one was a huge commercial backer of Notts, advertising around the ground, but it kicked off on here one night and now the signage has gone......my own son was "hounded off" about 5 years ago, now he doesn't bother posting.....bumped into Dangerous Sausage on another forum who said MAD was a waste of time.....and lastly, a finance director for a major UK company used to post but said it was too much stress on here.....pretty sure that they all still attend games and post occasionally on Facebook.....took a peek at Facebook on Saturday, there were at least 20 ex-pats leaving messages on "where do you live, let's put you on our World Map", I posted obviously

You can only be "hounded out" if you are weak enough to allow yourself to be hounded out. If you don't like the tone of the forum then don't post, but any talk of people being hounded out is over dramatic in my opinion.

I disagree Elite......there are lots of things that people could be doing instead of posting Match Ratings, and then getting told..."you shouldn't be allowed to comment"......there are people on here that love the club, watch every game live, the highlights, the extended highlights, the interviews.......then some complete tosser tells you to "do one"......at some point you think "what's the point"?.......nothing to do with strength or weakness.....at some point "enough is enough".....it's like a bad marriage, the "strength" is knowing you should walk away, or suffer another another 10 years of ****ty existence

Didn't want to start a new fred for this, but what on earth was the ridiculous goal celebration routine after our second goal?

Great result, good to be on top, etc., etc., but wtf was that meant to be???

Leigh Curtis in the Nottingham Post said: “Matt Tootle’s slug celebration is the most daftest you’ll see in football but it’s also the funniest. There’s something incredibly amusing watching him inch along the floor. But he deserved his moment for a quite terrific strike.”

Personally I’m not so impressed but hope to see it on many more occasions this season, because it will mean he’s just scored!

That was the (almost) World Famous Matt Tootle 'Slug' celebration. First seen in the pre-season friendly at Hucknall, he vowed to repeat it next time he scored. I seem to remember an interview where he explained the origin, but I can't remember what it was.
